Role Semantics for Better Models of Implicit Discourse Relations
Predicting the structure of a discourse is challenging because relations between discourse segments are often implicit and thus hard to distinguish computationally. I extend previous work to classify implicit discourse relations by introducing a novel set of features on the level of semantic roles. My results demonstrate that such features are helpful, yielding results competitive with other feature-rich approaches on the PDTB. My main contribution is an analysis of improvements that can be traced back to role-based features, providing insights into why and when role semantics is helpful.

Context Tracking Network: Graph-based Context Modeling for Implicit Discourse Relation Recognition
Implicit discourse relation recognition (IDRR) aims to identify logical relations between two adjacent sentences in the discourse. Existing models fail to fully utilize the contextual information which plays an important…

The idea that discourse relations are construed through explicit content and shared, or implicit, knowledge between producer and interpreter is ubiquitous in discourse research and linguistics. However, the actual contri…
Explainable ModelsEvent-Related Features in Feedforward Neural Networks Contribute to Identifying Causal Relations in Discourse
Causal relations play a key role in information extraction and reasoning. Most of the times, their expression is ambiguous or implicit, i.e. without signals in the text. This makes their identification challenging. We ai…
